Our specific room had two major, promised features that were not functioning -- fireplace and bathtub (shower worked well). The manager tried to remedy one but couldn't. For the other, she offered secondary excuses as to why we couldn't use it anyway. I proposed a 50% discount to compensate for these but she didn't seem to accept that solution and, in large part due to the language barrier, she eventually referred the matter to booking.com customer service. It is still not resolved. I emphasize that the problem was specific to us and our room because the two amenities were crucial factors in choosing to book. Most guests would not care about these things.

This is a beautiful mountainside hotel in a fairly remote village. The manager was extremely friendly, greeting us enthusiastically with welcome cookies as we parked, although she speaks more English than she can easily comprehend. The Marina is not especially cheap at 70€ per night (two people, mid-April, no breakfast) but the very large and well appointed room with a balcony and a phenomenal panoramic view of valleys and mountains merits the price. One of the nicest rooms ever! The kitchenette includes a good refrigerator/freezer and 2-burner stove top but is not equipped for cooking, offering only one pot and no cooking utensils. I had to ask for a frying pan. A few other omissions of common amenities made me wonder if the management is new and inexperienced. No dish soap and sponge were present, making it very hard to clean up after cooking. I asked for those items shortly before we checked out and the manager cheerily insisted that was her job and we had no need to wash dishes. That's absolutely the first time I've ever been told it's okay to leave the kitchen dirty after cooking.. The mattresses on the two single beds were generally okay but one was noticeably lumpy. Anogeia is a very interesting and picturesque town with a rich past, some of it tragic. There are many historical signs interpreting past events. It's also a center for hand woven textiles, with older women working looms right in the shops. The shopping district is a friendly, pleasant environment. It seemed quite prosperous but one proprietor said the economy struggles because tourists come to Crete for the sea, not the mountains. It's a worthwhile town in which to tarry and explore.

Wonderful view of the valley. We had everything we needed. The area around Anogia is really interesting with the strong sheep and goat farming, the geopark. Marina is a very friendly host.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Anoja, I think Hotel Marina is your best choice. The rooms are charming, comfortable, spatious and offer a beautiful view on the mountains. The hotel is conveniently located close to the main street and square, where you can find anything you need (cafe’s/kafeneia, restaurants/taverna’s and small supermarkets and bakery’s). But most of all: Marina is a very kind and caring host!!

Some minor issues with shower plus no air conditioning (to be clear: in my case it would have been useful to heat).

The view and the staff.
